LIKE A DECK OF CARDS
Hello. My name is Ace. I'm a 14 year old girl. I'm not any 14 year old. I can tell you things about the PPTH staff you would never know, or even guess. I can tell you why Cameron is, at times, self centered. I can tell you why Foreman is so House like. I can tell you why Chase is such a pretty boy. I can tell you I've seen House cry.
I am often told I am smart. I always thought 'smart' was just a concept. I always felt that I was no smarter than a new born baby, I just know more. I learned I was wrong. I was wrong about so much. The most important thing I learned is people don't like you. You can try hard, or you could not try at all. There is always going to be some who hates you. I learned from watching what looks like hate is often love. I learned there is no love at first sight. There is no such thing as justice in the world.
I learned people don't like me being wise beyond my years. I think my biggest problem is my ability to know what everyone thinks. This seems to anger people so much. But this is how I became wise. House once said 'Everyone's damaged.' He doesn't know half of what I do. House goes by Jagger's 'You can't always get what you want.' Cuddy goes by 'If you try, you might get what you need.' I disagree. You can't always get what you want. You very rarely will. But sometimes you will try and try, and you still don't get what you need.
This is why Cameron and Chase beg for House's approval on everything and anything. This is why Foreman doesn't care what House thinks. It's why Cuddy and Stacy loved House. It's why House doesn't think he loves anyone. They are all wrong.
Life is like a deck of cards. People try to deny it but it is true. Some people are smarter than others. Some are better looking. Some are nicer. Some people are white, others are black. Some are rich. Some are poor. Some are athletic. People move, and people change. It is said everyone is the same on the inside. We are all people and that's all there is too it. It is also said, usually by the same people, we are all individuals. I can't tell you which to believe, but I have decided to go with the latter over the former. People are as different as their finger prints.
As I tell you this let it be known I'm not a good person. I have broken laws. You know the big bad Goth boy at school? I'm his boss. I lurk in the shadows. I'm a girl the teachers fear. They just don't know it.
You want to know who I am? I run the gambling club at my school. This is illegal, but aren't laws made to be broken? I don't want to brag, but I am brilliant. I get it from my dad. I am like my dad in many ways. You know my dad. But we are starting from the beginning. You won't meet me yet. You won't know who my father is yet. When we start the story, my father and I haven't met yet.
This story is about House, Cuddy, Cameron, Chase, me, and a character yet to be introduced. There is more to any of us than you thought.
My name is Ace, and this is my story.
